 2025 CPI Kentucky Western Horse Show, at Morehead State University

By

Location:   Morehead State University Equestrian Center aka Derrickson Agricultural Complex     Address: 25 MSU Farm Drive, Morehead, KY 40351

Join Us at the CPI Event!
We are excited to invite riders in grades 8-12 to the College Prep Invitational (CPI), a unique event designed for young equestrians looking to explore college riding opportunities. Please note: This is not a regular YEDA show and does not offer points. Instead, CPI focuses on college and university recruitment, offering valuable learning opportunities through clinics and workshops.

Participate in hands-on riding clinics and educational sessions, and connect with college coaches to learn more about how to continue your equestrian journey at the collegiate level.

1. Do I have to own a horse/bring my horse to a CPI Horse Show?
NO, that is the best part about a CPI Horse Show! CPI supplies ALL the horses for a CPI Horse Show event. Just like in an intercollegiate setting where the hosting college supplies all the horses, CPI supplies all the horses for our events and all student-athlete riders draw their appropriate, trained horse to compete on. 

2. What tack do I have to bring? Do I have to bring my saddle?
Another great benefit to CPI is we supply ALL the tack including saddles. We ask that all student-athletes PLEASE leave their saddles at home, as you are not allowed to use them, and we do not want them to walk away. 

3. Who is eligible to participate in a CPI event?
Student-athletes in grades 8 through 12 who ride at any level from walk trot canter to advanced riders. That’s right CPI is NOT just for young women, we welcome young men as well. 

4. Do I have to bring my trainer/coach with me?
A trainer is REQUIRED for student-athletes to compete at a CPI Horse Show event, however, if your trainer/coach is not available, you can sign up to participate in the CPI Hire-A-Coach Program. 

5. Do I have to ride in the CPI Mounted Clinic to participate in a CPI Horse Show?
NO, the CPI Mounted Clinic is completely optional and not required to participate in a CPI Horse Show event. However, you DO have to participate in a CPI Horse Show event to participate in a CPI Mounted Clinic.

6. Does the rider have to be a YEDA memeber to participate?
No, this is open to all riders in 8 – 12th grade.
